James Lori Saine 2024-0330 EM0021 Con*cA.Ct ID.1 "7313 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PASS -AROUND REVIEW PASS -AROUND TITLE: Stream Gauge Grant Application DEPARTMENT: Emergency Management PERSON REQUESTING: Roy Rudisill DATE: Feb 2,2024 Brief description of the problemlissue: Commissioners, attached are the additional documents needed for the Hazard Mitigation Grant application to support the installation of four additional stream gauges around the county. I received an updated quote from Water and Earth Technology and the total cost went up to $60,646.71. this is due to the need to add amplified radios to ensure data transmission on two of the location in order for the signal to reach the Greeley tower. The original costs were estimated at $49,380.00. The locations for the stream gauges are: St Vrain at CO 119 (40.16064, -105.00914) South Platte at CR 8 (40.04383, -104.82375) South Platte at CO Hwy 60 (40.32000, -104.81142) Little Thompson at WCR 13 (40.31390, -104.94170) I'm requesting to add this item to the BOCC agenda and request signature on the assurance document and the application documents. Once the documents are signed, I will add them the electronic application and submit them to the State. The breakdown for costs and match is $60,646.71 for the total project and $15,161.68 for our 25% match. This is an increase of $2,816.68. What options exist for the Board? Consequences: The BOCC approved the application submissions of the project vis pass around last Nov. The recommendation is to continue with the application to help support the project. If we do not submit the application the project may take longer to complete, and we will not be able to use the est. 45,485.03 in federal funding. Impacts: These stream gauge monitoring sites are an addition to our current system. These location will help us to monitor areas of the county that do not have real time stream gauge monitoring in place. This provide us the ability to provide pre -warnings to citizens during increased weather events or severe flooding conditions. Costs (Current Fiscal Year /Ongoing or Subsequent Fiscal Years): Funding is budgeted for the match for the project. Annual maintenance costs will be added to our current agreement and budgeted in 2025.
